This article is more than 1 month old

We’d like to hear from people who have been purchasing luxury goods and experiences in recent years, and how they feel about their spending habits

We’re interested to hear about people’s spending habits in the area of upmarket or luxury goods, services and experiences, and whether they are generally happy with their spending on non-essentials.

We’d like to know whether you have spent money on expensive non-essential items such as designer clothing, high end housewares, luxury holidays, expensive beauty or wellness treatments, or exclusive dining, for instance, in the past year, and if so, whether you have struggled to afford this.

We’re also keen to hear whether your attitude towards spending on luxury goods or experiences may have changed in recent years, and which factors you believe may have contributed to this.

Share your experience

Tell about your spending habits regarding non-essential items and experiences, whether you live above your means in your view, and whether your attitude towards luxury goods and spending has changed in recent years.
